This is Inquisitor Trevelyan.

[ Not that she's able to do any inquisiting here, but the title has long since stuck to her, despite Cecily's original complaints. ]

Dorian Pavus has gone, if you knew him, and--... it all makes me wonder, really, what the patterns are with the disappearances. A handful of our people have gone and not come back. Dorian came back, but without his memories of his time here. I came back with my memories. Has anyone been able to figure out any sort of method to it all?

It could be that the Door is just choosing without meaning, but it does seem that it can be more cruel to some than others, doesn't it?

Was that what you did in your world, before you were brought here?

[torrefied]

Not the only thing. But part of what I did there, yes.

[closerift]

I imagine that comes in handy in this place.

[torrefied]

It's come in handy everywhere I've been. They're valuable life skills.

[closerift]

That's fair enough.
Well, then, thank you for your time. And for this resource.

[He's not used to being thanked. He's not used to doing things that people would thank him for. It feels ... weird. Uncomfortable, but not entirely in a bad way. Just ... different.]

You're welcome.
